Power supply
You can either use Power over Ethernet (PoE) or the power supply of the external digital I/O port.
Digital I/O port
The following connector is required for the digital I/O port:
- 15 pin HD D-Sub (female)
Pin allocation D-Sub connector (male) of the cameraYou can configure the digital I/O port as RS422 or as single-ended input or output. It is also possible to configure one output as RS422 and the other output as single-ended.

FAQ
What is the maximum line rate of the allPIXA neo 4k GigE
The maximum line rate for the camera is
| Configuration | Line rate |
|---|---|
| Mono (8 bit) | 225 kHz |
| RGB (8 bit) | 85 kHz |
| RGB + Mono (8 bit) (NIR) | 65 kHz |
I can’t increase the line rate of the camera, what could be the reason?
The exposure time can limit the maximum line rate, the exposure time must be shorter than the line time. Try to reduce the exposure time.
The bandwidth of the connection can also limit the maximum line rate. Make sure that the 10 GigE connection is stable.
I can't get a connection to the camera what could be the reason?
Please take a look at the following article, which describes how the problem can be solved.
